1baker Posts: 2 Registered: Mar 2005	posted 03-03-2005 04:16 PM please help me identify a metal vase. On the bottom is a crest with a loin on one side and a unicorn on the other. in the crest are the letters E-P and under those are the letters N-S. Then under the lion is the letter L and under the unicorn is the letter B. please help me to understand this mark. Also on the rim of the vase are old single wing airplanes and wreaths, spaced next to eachother. Thank you. linda IP: Logged

The letters EPNS normally stand for "Electro Plated Nickel Silver" and denote your item is silver plated onto Nickel. Please try and post a photograph. IP: Logged
Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 03-03-2005 10:36 PM This sounds very much like a trophy vase. The makers of these are somewhat obscure, much more research is needed. Beyond that the airplane motif sounds really interesting. Could you post a picture? Does this have a base of another material? Could there be a lid, that is missing. How big is this? Really intriguing mystery. IP: Logged
